Larva

The creatures most similar to the original Zerg insectoids are the Zerg Larvae. Each Larva contains within it the genetic makeup of every other Zerg strain available to the Hive. A young Hive will have only the genetic codes for the most basic of Zerg strains, such as the Drone, but as the Hive grows and develops new structures, the Larvae can expand its library of genetic strains. With a command from the Overlords, Larvae will enter a pupal state and begin the metamorphosis into whichever strains the Hive requires.

Blizzard should do something about their larva-to-cocoon animation. In Starcraft 1 there was a momentary curling up into an egg animation when you morph a unit with the larva. Now it just instantly becomes a cocoon without any animation - it looks fake.

um,actually its quite unfair for zergs since if enemy destroys the larvae or in their pupa stage(which is very hard)then zergs would be forever useless!

In the meantime, could that someone also explain why they lose all that armor after evolving?

@Dominus: It's so the enemy can't just run in and decimate the Larva stopping all unit creating. I don't think it's a "metal heavier than bug" thing.
